Important: 

• The transfer case is assembled for proper gear tooth clearances, backlash, and bearing preloads with selective shims.
• Do not assemble the internal components dry. Lightly lubricate the bearing races, bearings, gears, and oil seals with the proper lubricant. Components in the transaxle portion of the transfer case should be lubricated with DEXRON III GM P/N 12378470 (Canadian P/N 10952622) or equivalent. Components in the hypoid gear portion of the transfer case should be lubricated with GM P/N 12378514 (Canadian P/N 88901045).
